﻿Assignment 2-2 (FIN-101 )
------------------------------------
Critical Thinking Questions :1.1 - Describe the cash flows between a firm and its stakeholders . Cash flows are generated by a firm’s productive assets that were purchased through either issuing debt or raising equity. These assets generate revenues through the sale of goods and services. A portion of this revenue is then used to pay wages and salaries to employees, pay suppliers, pay taxes, and pay interest on the borrowed money. The leftover money, residual cash, is then either reinvested back in the business or is paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends .

1.2 - What are the three fundamental decisions the finance team is concerned with, and how do they affect the firm’s balance sheet ? The primary financial management decisions every company faces are capital budgeting decisions, financing decisions, and working capital management decisions. Capital budgeting addresses the question of which productive assets to buy; thus, it affects the asset side of the balance sheet. Financing decisions focus on raising the money the firm needs to buy productive assets. This is typically accomplished by selling long-term debt and equity. Finally, working capital decisions involve how firms manage their current assets and liabilities. The focus here is seeing that a firm has enough money to pay its bills and that any spare money is invested to earn to earn a return .

1.3 - What is the difference between stockholders and stakeholders ? Stockholders, also referred to as shareholders, are the owners of the company. A stakeholder, on the other hand, is anyone with a claim on the assets of the firm, including, but not limited to, shareholders. Stakeholders include the firm’s employees, suppliers, creditors, and the government .

1.4 - Suppose that a group of accountants want to start their own accounting business. What organizational form would they most likely choose, and why ? Most lawyers,...

...﻿ Question One: What are the potential investment risks involved with interest rate securities?
Interest rate securities can be traded on the ASX, e.g. floating rate notes, convertible notes, and hybrid debt securities. This type of security is a form of bond which pays a coupon payment, either fixed or floating, plus it pays the face value upon maturity. The main risk associated with these securities is that the coupon payment (cash flow) is fixed for the life of the security unless it is a floating rate security. The investment risks associated with longer term interest rate securities are greater due to the variability of interest rates over time.
In addition a discussion and example of interest rate risk and other risks all related to securities. The student just cannot list a set of risks without relating these to the security.
Question Two : Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of BABs as:
(a) a form of investment
(b) a way of borrowing money
A BAB is paper issued by a private borrower promising to pay a certain amount of money on a specified date where the payment has been guaranteed by a bank. Bank bills carry the credit rating of the banks guaranteeing them which gives them a rating close to that of government paper. This is because banks are widely regarded as “government guaranteed”, although there is no legislative basis for this view.
The attraction of bank bills as an investment is the safety of the investment. They...

...﻿Hare–Hawes–Cutting
The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act (ch. 11, 47 Stat. 761, enacted January 17, 1933) was the first US law passed for the decolonization of the Philippines. It was the result of the OsRox Missionled by Sergio Osmeña and Manuel Roxas.
By 1932, forces for the creation of this law beautiful around US farmers who were hit by theGreat Depression and feared Filipino imports of sugar and coconut oil that were not subject to US tariff law; and Filipinos (such as Manuel L. Quezon) who were seeking Philippine independence. The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act was authored by South Carolina Representative Butler Hare, Missouri Senator Harry Bartow Hawes and New Mexico Senator Bronson M. Cutting. It was finally passed by the United States Congress in December 1932, but was vetoed by U.S. President Herbert Hoover. Congress then overrode the veto on January 17, 1933.
The law promised Philippine independence after 10 years, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States, as well as imposing tariffs and quotas on Philippine exports. It also required the Philippine Senate to ratify the law.
Quezon urged the Philippine Senate to reject the bill, which it did, and the Philippine Senateadvocated a new bill that won the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The result was the Tydings–McDuffie Act of 1934 which in several ways was similar to the Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act. The Tydings–McDuffie Act was ratified by the Philippine Senate.
The Philippines achieved...

...﻿Chapter 5: Diagnosis for Change
Learning Objectives
On completion of this chapter you should be able to
• Understand the role of diagnostic models.
• Apply a range of diagnostic instruments relevant to various aspects of the process of managing.
• Form a view on which instruments you find most attractive/helpful.
This chapter introduces a range of diagnostic instruments that can be applied to the management of change. Some are designed to highlight a particular aspect of the change process (e.g., the readiness of an organization for change), some deal with one aspect of an organization (e.g., its strategy or its structure), while others—“diagnostic models”—refer to the operation of the organization as a whole.
How a diagnostic device is used also relates to what sort of manager of change you are (in terms of the change manager images discussed in Chapter 2). One option consistent with the change manager as director is to use diagnostic tools to build up your own knowledge base and confidence about what needs to change by using models that specify relationships among variables and pinpoint where change is needed when things are not going well. This chapter provides a number of such models that depict the connections between organizational variables (through the use of boxes, lines, and arrows, etc.). These models may be seen to engender a level of confidence about the desired outputs that will be produced following change interventions that focus on the...
